Colour Creations Blog Hop week 45 - Shaded Spruce

 


Welcome to week 45 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. Every week we have been featuring one of the Stampin' Up! colours in alphabetical order. For week 45 we are featuring Shaded Spruce, a dark, rich green from the Regals Colour Family.

Usually I use Shaded Spruce for trees and foliage, and I guess seaweed is still foliage but under water. I used the A Wish and A Fish stamp set and punch for this week's card.


I stamped the seaweed in Shaded Spruce and also Parakeet Party ink. As I wanted the Shaded Spruce images to be in the background I cut a mask of the seaweed image, stamped the Parakeet Party images, then masked them before stamping the Shaded Spruce images.


The fishies were stamped in Stazon Ink on Silver Foil Paper and punched out using the matching punch.


To colour the background I used a Blending Brush and Tahitian Tide Ink. I added some water drops with a Water Painter and some splatter from a Wink of Stella Pen for added sparkle.
I also made another quick card using the Regency Park DSP and the Basic Borders Dies


The flowers are stamped in Bashful Blue and again punched out with the co ordinating punch.

All of the products used to make these cards are available from my Stampin' Up! online store.


Now it's time to see what my very talented team member Kate Morgan has to share with you. Prepare to be amazed!

If you have any problems with the links in the blog hop please head to Cathy Proctor's blog for a complete list of tonight's participants.

Come back next week when we will be featuring Smoky Slate, a lovely soft gray in the Neutrals family. We only have three more weeks to go until we have finished the current range of Stampin' Up! colours. This means it's almost time for the new Annual Catalogue, yay! Exciting times to come and more new colours to feature.

Thanks for visiting,
Rachel

Colour Creations Blog Hop week 8 - Bermuda Bay

 


Hello stampers, I'm back with week 8 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. This week our projects highlight Bermuda Bay which is a beautiful blue/green colour that belongs to our Brights Colour Family.

The first card I have to show you uses the A Fish & A Wish bundle.
 

This bundle includes a punch with two different sized fish and a coordinating stamp set. I have stamped three fish in Stazon Jet Black ink on Silver Foil card stock so that my fish have a realistic shimmer to them.


The background of the card is Coastal Cabana and has been embossed with the Seashells 3D embossing folder.


I cut three squares from Bermuda Bay card stock and attached them to the background on the diagonal. Numerous leaf sprigs were cut using the Natural Prints Dies and Parakeet Party card stock. These sprigs were tucked around the Bermuda Bay squares as seaweed.


The fish were added and the final touch was a few Opal Rounds that I thought looked like bubbles under the water.

The second card I made was cased from a card I saw on Pinterest by LA Stamper.


I love this card as it was the perfect way to use up all of the half flowers around the edge of the DSP sheet.


I used a scalloped rectangle from the Scalloped Contours Dies as the base for the flowers. I stamped the greeting from the Happiness Abounds stamp set and then arranged the flowers around it.


A few teeny tiny Brushed Brass Butterflies were the final touch.

I can't wait to see what the other clever ladies in the team have to share with you. The next hop on our blog hop is my lovely friend Christine Blain. Click either on her name or on the graphic below to see here amazing project.
